About Marjorie

Marjorie Fagan is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, grief, anxiety, and parenting struggles. She writes in a direct, friendly way and aims to make starting help feel manageable for someone juggling a busy life.

She describes therapy as a collaboration rather than a quick fix. Sessions focus on practical steps and gentle reflection so clients can start feeling more like themselves. Marjorie encourages people to bring what matters most to sessions and to work at a pace that fits their life.

Marjorie has 14 years of experience in clinical work in California and has worked with many different cultural groups. That background informs a flexible approach that draws on a few evidence-based methods. She pays attention to each person’s history while helping them try new ways of coping day to day.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns, including relationships, family matters, parenting, mood symptoms, addictions, and career stress. She aims to help clients identify patterns that keep them stuck and to test small changes that lead to better functioning.

People can expect a warm, straightforward style focused on usable tools and conversation. To start, she asks for a short questionnaire and then helps schedule sessions that fit into the client’s routine. Marjorie emphasizes steady progress rather than overnight change.

How her approaches translate to online work

Marjorie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that fit online conversations. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention practices and learning to notice thoughts and feelings without judgment, which can help with stress and coping.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will discuss goals and try methods that feel most helpful, adjusting plans based on what works for the client. Clients and therapist decide together how to blend practical skills and reflective work over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It also lets people continue steady work on parenting, grief, or mood concerns from wherever they are, while keeping the focus on concrete tools and achievable changes.
